Study: Fewer cars on the roads, increase • Table.Briefings

In many large cities and on freeways, there were recently fewer cars on the road than in 2019.

Despite an increase in registered vehicles, fewer cars are traveling on German highways compared to pre-pandemic levels. Concurrently, the traffic volume of long-distance trains has risen, according to a recent study.

In 2023, there were seven percent fewer cars on German highways compared to 2019, a trend observed in many major cities as well. Additionally, the traffic volume of long-distance trains increased by six percent. These findings are from an analysis conducted by the think tank Agora Verkehrswende, based on a report by the consulting firm KCW.
